    Re: Lecky's "Wrinkles" - hard copies
    From: Bruce J. Pennino

    I would not purchase a new set of   "Wrinkles".   I'm at the point where I have enough CN books with my latest purchase of  Letcher's "Self - Contained CN with H.O. 208,1977" .   At $14.95 Letcher's is a good "read" with several interesting situations/problems. I recommend it.

    Existing copies of Wrinkles are cheaply had, but are cheaply bound.  Most are falling apart.

    I suggested to David Goodchild that he consider republishing a high quality (i.e., sturdily-bound, legible, error-free and complete!) hard copy of Wrinkles in Practical Navigation. Here is his reply:

    "I am looking in to it, though the earlier celestial books are not too popular today. Do you think there would be a market for a few copies? Would Ocean Navigator be a good ad venue? I do like to have a thorough representation of all nautical literature in my list, but it is a bit big of course. It would have to be a 2-volume work and we price these at $49.95 for the set."

    So, my questions:

    (1) would you be interested in purchasing a hard copy of Wrinkles?

    (2) if so, do you have a preference for a particular edition?

    P.S. If you're unfamiliar with David Goodchild's "Shellback Library" books, see generally the YouTube title "The Cruise of the Kate - www.dngoodchild.com/"
